Next thing yuh know, big man start lashin’ out left, right, and center—calling everybody who blink too much a traitor. He see a man sneeze and nearly call a press conference fuh expose “subversive forces trying to undermine democracy.”

Dem boys seh he used to be cool, calm, and collected. Now he more like a man drinking five cups of coffee and reading conspiracy theories before breakfast. He calling people names, chasing ghosts, and picking fight wid everybody—even dem who just minding dem own business.
One time, a journalist ask he why he so worried bout people who ain’t got no power. Big man seh, “Is not dem I fraid, is de perception!” Imagine dat! De man fighting perception like how Don Quixote fight windmill. Next ting yuh know, he gon try put restraining order pon de breeze!
